ToqZZ whom it may amera:

Be it known that we, Jenn MCCARDim and CLIFFORD M. CHAPMAN,- of Indiana 11s, -county 'of Marion, and State of Inv ana,l

that the following is a'full, clear', and exact description thereof,'reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings.

The object of this invention is to provide an improvedY construction of fountaln brushes, which is particularly adapted for vOne feature of the invention consists in providing a' follower'inthe casing for exthe followi'er.- The/eccentric Amounting the felloweris to prevent it from turnin in the tubular casing in which it is locatec- The full nature of the invention will be understood from the'accompanying drawedgzeccentrically on a screw' for .moving ings andthe Afollowing description and claim.

" Inthe drawin FigureA 1 is a p lan view 1s a longitudinal secsubstantially central therethrough. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3'of Fig. 2. .In detail,a tubular casing 10 is provided `to receive the soap 11 and at one end is internallyl threaded to receivethe metal headl 12 of the Abristles 13. Said head 12 is externally' threaded to screw into the casing.

The brush head has a hole 14, through which the soap may pass to the bristles from the casing.' j

The other end of the casing 10 is externally threaded to receive the cap 15, which screws thereon. Said cap has a hole in it, through which the .screw 16 extends from the screw head 17. The screw head is outside and rests against the cap 15, while the screw extends almost through the casin 10. On said screw a follower 1s eccentrical y mounted, said follower consisting of a leather portion 18, through which a metal sleeve 19 extends, and which is internally threaded to screw on the screw 16. A plate 2O is se- .cured at one end' of said sleeve 19, and the l-'plate 2l at the other end, so that the leather portion 18 is held between the plates 20 and 21. The bore through the sleeve 19 is located somewhat away from the center of the leather 18, so that revolutions'of the screw 16 will move the follower longitudinally over said screw, but said follower cannot turn in the casing on account of the screw'.

being eccentrically located. If the follower could turn, it is obvious that rotation of the screw would not propel the follower. The

follower forces the soap. out into thebrush. To prevent the follower from being accidentally loosened or removed from Contact with the soap, a spring '22 is mounted around the screw within the cap 1i. i; as to bear at one end against the cap and at the other end against a nut 23. This creates ak frictional resistance between the spring and cap 15, whereby the screw will not be accidentally turned by the screw head.v What we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Pant'is:

A fountain brush' including a tubular cas. ing for holding thel soap, a perforated Brush 'head mounted in one end of the cas' a rotatable screw mounted in the other en of the casing, and a follower eccentrically mounted on said screw, propelled by the screw and will not revolve.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto affixed our signatures in the presence of the witnesses herein named.
